I've never had to deal with their technical support (knock on wood), but I've
been very pleased with the reliability of their 6085 (full-height 72MB drive).
I use this to run a BBS 24 hours a day, which wouldn't be a big deal, except
that I've probably run a gigabyte of mail on it.  Unpack the archive, start
unpacking messages, run out of room, kill some messages, renumber, unpack,
etc. ... The drive is coming up on two years old without any problems.  I've
used their 40MB drives on previous BBS's, and I've been happy with those, too.

The only complaint I've heard about Miniscribe drives is that some people 
think that they're too noisy.  I would gladly buy Miniscribe drives again.
